Ihe SOOth Carolina Regulatory.
SIX OF THEN IDENTIFIED BY THEIR VICTIM AMI
HELD FOR TRIAL
Charleston special. dated December %, to the
Philadelphia Press, says: An official examination
was had to-day OF the Chester regulators. or, as
they are now called, the Knights OF the switch.
They were confronted with Mamie Crawford, the
young white woman they whipped. She positively
identified Garland Smith, Walker Smith, Fitz
Grawley, John McCarley, Robert JamisOn, and
David Good as her asSailants. They were all pros
porous white farmers, and have given bail for
their appearance at the next term of court TO
answer an indictment for burglary and assault
and battery OF an aggravated nature. They gave
as excuse for their brutal treatment of the girl
that she was living with c0lOred man. Respect
able neighbOrS say that she and her mother live
alone in q little house on in the woods, and that
she has to look after all the affairs OF the place
The colOred man who Is accused Is o servant who
helps her with her work. On the night OF the
assault the regulators FIRST whipped the cOlored
man and told him to move to parts unknown
Then they went to widow Crawfords, where they
broke into the house and compelled Mamie to get
out OF bed and follow them. They sat her upon q
horse and carried her to a grove some distance
from her house They then whipped her until the
blood trickled down her shoulders. The people OF
Chester believe that the woman Is innocent and
are anxious to have the lawleSs conduct OF the
regulators severely punished. An exciting trial
Will be had In March. Nearly all the local bar
will be engaged In the use.

Don't Hear Everything.

From Treasure Troye
The art OF not hearing should be learned by all.
1t Is fully as important to domestic happiness as
cultivated ear, for which SO much money and
time are expended. There are SO many things
which 1t is painful to hear, many things we ought
not TO hear, very many which, II heard, will dis
turo the temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty,
detract ffo.n Commandment and happiness, that
every one should be educated TO take In or shut
out sounds, according TO his pleasure.
II man falls into violent passion and calls us
all manner or names, at the nrsL word we should
shut our ears and bear no more. II, In our quiet
voyage or ltfe we find ourselves caught In one OF
these domestic whirlwindS or scOlding, We should
shut our ears as sailor would furl his sails, and
making all tight, scud before the gale. II hot
and restless man begins TO tnfame our feelings we
should consider what mischief these fiery sparks
may do in our magazine below where our temper
Is kept, and Instantly close the door.
The art OF not hearing, though untaught In our
schools, Is by no means unpracticed In society," We
have noticed that a well-bred woman never hears
vulgar or impertfnenJ remark. A kind or dis
Greet deafness saves one from many insults from
much blame, from not little cOnnivance In dis
honorable conversation.
